Do You Wanna Know? Lyrics

So hello where are we today
Still fighting still running in place
And now the outline of this lake
Seems to be pointing me away
Honestly i've never lied more
To myself all over the floor
I threw my teeth i've shown you
Just how weak my knees can get

So don't let go
My spine is slipping like a fault line
If I go i'll bury us all
Don't close my door
Don't leave me out with these mosquitoes
Trying to drink up all my wine

Do you wanna know what my love is
Oh do you wanna hear how my song goes
Do you wanna know what my love is
Don't say no, don't say no

And now it's up to me to wait
I need you to reciprocate
My heart is ticking like a box
Sent to me by anonymous
And now i'm scared to open it
I'm always blowing up to bits
I'm always running out of lives
Running out of time

So don't let go
My spine is slipping like a fault line
If I go i'll bury us all
Don't close my door
Don't leave me out with these mosquitoes
Trying to drink up all my wine

Do you wanna know what my love is
Oh do you wanna hear how my song goes
Do you wanna know what my love is
Don't say no, don't say no

Don't let me go i'd fall apart
Don't say you won't follow my heart
I'd had this deep inside for far too long
(it can't be wrong)
Only one life to give
I cross my heart and hope to live
With you my darling here forevermore

So do you wanna know what my love is
Oh do you wanna hear how my song goes
Do you wanna know what my love is
Don't say no, don't say no

Do you wanna know what my love is
Oh do you wanna hear how my song goes
Do you wanna know what my love is
Don't say no, don't say no

It's actually:

"My spine is slipping like a fault line If I go I'll bury us all"

But other wise, great song from an equally great album.

dan's songs are getting better all the time.. this song is my fav one on the new album at the moment... i think it's about finding the person you want to spend your life with and hoping they feel the same way.. it's also about reflecting on life and wanting to give all you have to your lover to make them as happy as you can becoz you feel so lucky to be with them...

This song reminds me of Smashing Pumpkins' "That's the Way (My Love Is)"

I thought Dan couldn't get any better than Every Thug Need A Lady, but this one may beat it...I Love it.

Dan is generally weaker lyrically speaking than Matt but he has taken huge strides on this album.

This song is about the West Memphis 3 If you think about it, it's pretty obvious

"So hello where are we today Still fighting still running in place And now the outline of this lake Seems to be pointing me away Honestly i've never lied more To myself all over the floor I threw my teeth i've shown you Just how weak my knees can get"

It tells how their still on trial for a crime that they didn't do and how nobody will belive what they say

When I first heard this song off the album, I had to giggle alittle bit to how high Dan gets his voice. I'm lame, I know.
